1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Many biological and soft matter processes occur at high speeds in complex three-dimensional (3D) environments, and developing imaging techniques capable of elucidating their dynamics is an outstanding challenge. Here, we introduce Fourier synthesis optical diffraction tomography (FS-ODT), a quantitative phase imaging approach capable of recording the 3D refractive index at kilohertz rates. FS-ODT introduces computational strategies that multiplex tens of illumination angles in a single tomogram, markedly increasing the volumetric imaging rate. We validate FS-ODT on samples of known composition, hindered diffusion of colloids in solution, and the motility of bacterial swimmers. We also integrate FS-ODT into a multimodal microscope combining refractive index imaging with multicolor structured illumination microscopy. FS-ODT is a promising approach for unlocking imaging regimes that have been little explored, including understanding the physical interactions of colloids and microswimmers with their 3D environment and the interplay between these stimuli and the molecular response of biological systems.
